Just want to ask why if you look at this site http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/476/recognised-institutions-middle-east-asia.htm
University of the philippines lang ang naka list. This is from the website mismo ng australian immigration?
Kinda confused...Thanks a lot!

I am currently waiting for the result of my ielts and about to begin my career episodes in preparation for my skills assessment (i am applying through Engineers Australia). I am targeting to send the documents end of this month. My questions are - (1) should the certified copy of the documents be colored or cleared normal (black and white) photo copies will do? and, (2) would it be fine if i'll have my documents certified in the Philippines as i am currently working in the Maldives (and having my documents here certified costs me a lot than having it mark in the Philippines)?
Also, for sure, i'll be lodging my visa after July 1, which means the new points system applies. After running through the details, 2 items are still vague to me which are:
(1) qualifications (australian or recognized overseas) - 15 points (how can i earn this point?)
(2) professional year - 5 points (can you please further expound this and how can i earn this point as well?).
This so far is what i am targeting:
1. Age - 30 points (*i'm 29 at the moment)
2. English - 10 points (*i am only aiming for 7 in each sections as the basic requirements of Victoria for engineers)
3. Qualifications - 15 points (* BS Civil Engineering is a 5-year course, this is what i am clarifying above if i can claim the points)
4. Work Experience - 5 points (*i've been working in the Maldives for over 4 yrs and 2 yrs in the Philippines - relevant to my occupation i am nominating for skills assessment)
5. Professional Year - 5 points (* i wanna know how to claim this point)
6. State Sponsorship - 5 points (*i have sent an application to State of Victoria last week)
Many thanks. Rest assured that whatever information i could get from other forums, i'll definitely share to all of you guys!
Cheers.

please see my reply below
3. Qualifications <= actually sa lahat ng site na napuntahan ko na wala makapagbigay and concrete answer how this category is truly being assessed. siguro masasabi ko lang nakadepende sa officer na magassess sayo? (though may criteria sila how they rate this one.)
like in my case, malas ko my school falls on section 3, hiningan ako ng other supporting docs ng MIGRATION AGENT like GPA and PRC license. so i think it doesn't mean na pag 2 or 3 and section natin 0 agad score natin
5. Professional Year - 5 points (* i wanna know how to claim this point) <= As far as i know Professional Year is a course or program that focuses on Australian working Environment, it gives you opportunity to have a local experience. some claims na ung professional year daw e pwede rin yr of working experience in AU.
